Sonnet #44: Emergency

We leave when rain falls down on our dreams
When hope forgets to cancel out this fear
And finish what we’ve started as it seems
This life is always terminal, that’s clear

Did I Finish Something Today?

I must admit:
I didn’t
Just to make it clear:
There is no happy ending to this poem

immune to death

it’s never been the blank page
that i’ve been afraid of
there was no need

Apollon On the Moon

for an instance
you take part in a project
will you object
the failure into fame

The Struggle

Let the fight begin
I told Charon
Took his finger
Showed him the rest of the night sky

Sensing the Darkness

Moving too fast sometimes
Running from something
Ignoring the path between
Start and finish

Paranoid World

We act and talk against each other / Because we live in constant fear
Paranoia grows in every corner / But we ignore what’s next and dear.

WRITING Creative writing is my personal way to deal with the world we live in. I try to figure what’s going on and how to make sense of it. Creative writing is also giving something from me to you to enjoy, to think about or just share some time together online.

POEMS On this page I started with poems because it’s an easy way for me to write something off my chest. Poems are about one tiny aspect in life, about a special feeling or a combination of both. Poems have the power to connect people in a special way. You can think about a poem for far longer than it lasted reading it. You can sing poems; you can think about poems; you can recite them out loud. Tell me what you think about my poetry. Or suggest a collaboration.

ART I already told you that I started with poems in here. But that’s just the beginning. I also write sonnets, short shories, novels, odes, haikus and more. I design my own books, do letterpress from time to time and like to make more collages. Some of it I put on here. Some of it I’m still working on. Most of it is still in my mind.

COLLABORATION I’d like to work together with other creative people. Do you like one of my poems and would like to make a song from it? Contact me! Do you have an idea but not the right words? Contact me! Do you like one subject I have written about and want to learn more? Contact me! Are you a writer but stuck in procrastination? Contact me!

FUN Sometimes I write about dark subjects. Sometimes I write about light subjects. Most of times I write because of the fun of writing. Because it’s healthy to do. Writing clears the mind. And, yeah, writing is fun. Do you like to learn more? Contact me!
